"In Elyn Aviva's 'maybe fiction'The Questionwe start our journey on the Main Street of real dreamers, the path of moonlight on water. We have so many stories to hear. Some of them come with names from old mythologies, like Gwydion and Cerberus and Isis, but they shapeshift and shake out their feathers, reminding us that a myth to live by must be dyed with our own passion and imagination and cut to our lifestyle. Sometimes it feels like we have wandered into a tarot novella like Italo Calvino's The Castle of Crossed Destinies. Then we realize that the cards in play don't come from any familiar deck but are swooping down from the imaginal realm to carry us into adventures there. We learn that the most important questions can't merely be answered; they must be lived. The Questionanimates one of my favorite themes: that we live by stories and must seek to find and live our bigger and braver stories and tell them so well that we entertain Death and earn the right kind of time in this world. --Robert Moss, creator of Active Dreaming, bestselling author of Conscious Dreaming, The Secret History of Dreamingand The Boy Who Died and Came Back.
